I've read various documents on amd, but am having issues... My fstab for the drives (there is two drives contained within a Sun StorEdge S1) reads: /dev/da0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/da0s1d /s none rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/da1s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/da1s2d /t none rw,noauto 0 0 I've mkdir -p both /s and /t as mount points I've then put the following lines into /etc/amd.map localhost/s type:=program:fs:=/s;\ mount:="/sbin/mount mount /s";\ unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /s" localhost/t type:=program:fs:=/t;\ mount:="/sbin/mount mount /t";\ unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /t" And finaly I've added the following to ,y /etc/rc.conf portmap_enable="YES" amd_enable="YES" amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host/etc/amd.map" when i reboot the server the external drives are not mounted, but I do get a .snap file now in my / if this means anything ? Am I missing a step here, or the point totally ??

To start with, yes. If you don't use "noauto", then the disk *has* to be there at boot. You might want to put in some devfs rules to mount the disks when they show up. Or an automounter. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
